A crisis has been brewing in the scientific community for years now that calls into question a great deal about what we believe about humanity, our future, and how we navigate uncertainty. There are many contributing factors, like scientific fraud, carelessness, ambition, and so on, but the bottom line is that a great deal of the experiments described in journal papers -these are the studies that define our current understanding of science- cannot be replicated.
When we base medical treatments, or social policy, around science based on peer-reviewed studies, and then those studies turn out to be fabricated, or irreproducible, there is often a significant human cost to the error. Multiply this impact across every field of scientific inquiry and it is difficult to take materialist-rationalist worldview very seriously.
There is nothing wrong with science but a lot wrong with how we go about doing science in the modern age, and it has been co-opted by the powers of hegemony to keep the rich wealthy and the powerful in power. But this is about more than just greed...it's about what dreams our worldviews allow to come into being.
In this episode, part 1 of a 2-part series, I'll show exactly why science has failed us, how it all went wrong, who benefits, and where it's all going.
The science of today isn't about discovering truth. It's about turning certain beliefs into facts to manipulate public consciousness. Science, like religion before it, has become the opiate of the masses.
